This past weekend, with the support of many friends I was LUCKY enough to have been asked to attend the Optima Street Car Invitational
I was given the award because they said I have the "Spirit of the Event". I never thought of my participation in USCA that way. I ask people if they need help, because of the high stress the race environment puts on the competitors; if I can help for one second, or get a water, talk about the last run, or help with car tuning, allowing someone to take a deep breath for just those few moments and look around and soak in the surroundings, maybe that will make a that person's day a little better (if that's possible while at a USCA event), what we're doing is really, REALLY cool....
I have always joked that my little home built and painted car would never be in the BIG SHOW..and now here we go! So I have 109 days till the Optima Invitational
